With just three months to go until the IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships in Sestriere, Italy, Japan's multiple Paralympic medal winner Kuniko Obinata is still thankful for the day she accidentally came across a pair of skis.
Obinata, who claimed Paralympic Downhill gold at her home Games in Nagano in 1998, is set to be one of more than 150 athletes gathering in Italy next January for the biggest event in the winter calendar since the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Games.
However, had it not been for a chance discovery of an abandoned pair of skis at a rehabilitation centre
